   If a security deposit is required, Corporate Network Solutions stores the funds in our general account. Corporate Network Solutions does not pay interest on security deposits, and Corporate Network Solutions only draw on the funds if Client becomes past due in an obligation to Corporate Network Solutions. Client will need to replenish the security deposit promptly if Corporate Network Solutions has to draw against it. Corporate Network Solutions will refund the security deposit to Client within sixty (60) days of the termination of the MSA with each other as long as Client’s account is paid in full.
7. Occasionally, a utility provider might change the amounts that they charge Corporate Network Solutions for power delivery, resulting in an increased cost for power delivery that is passed on to Client without mark-up. Corporate Network Solutions will use commercially reasonable efforts to inform Client of the increase in utility charges as soon as practical but in no event less than thirty days prior to increase in rates.
8. All third-party solutions Corporate Network Solutions provides to Client are subject to service level agreements and all legally binding terms and conditions of said third party as stated and made publicly available on their respective websites. Service Levels might vary greatly per solution provider and product, and remain subject to change at the third-party providers’ discretion. In the event that a third-party provider changes the amounts they charge Corporate Network Solutions for the service provided, resulting in an increased cost for said service, Corporate Network Solutions will pass the cost increase on to Client without mark-up.
9. If Client orders something from Corporate Network Solutions that requires a cost or expense to be incurred by Corporate Network Solutions, and Client pre-approved those expenses or those expenses are otherwise specified in this MSA, Client will be required to reimburse Corporate Network Solutions for those expenses or costs without mark-up. Corporate Network Solutions will issue an invoice to Client in the subsequent billing cycle for any such reimbursement.
10. Any credits issued to Client’s account in accordance with the terms of the Service Level Agreement (SLA) may only be used as a credit toward future charges for services and may not be sold, converted to cash, or transferred. SLA credits expire on the termination or expiration of the MSA.
11. Prices and fees referred to in this MSA are not inclusive of any tax, withholding, sales, use, value added, levies, import, custom duties, excise, or other tax equivalent required as a result of the supply of services. All taxes will be paid by Client.

    2. Corporate Network Solutions is required to collect taxes on behalf of Client unless Client provides Corporate Network Solutions with a valid tax exemption certificate from the appropriate authority.
    3. If withholding tax applies to any payments for services made in this MSA, Client may pay those taxes to the appropriate tax authority and provide Corporate Network Solutions with the official tax receipt, and notify Corporate Network Solutions that withholding tax is required, and Client will ensure that Corporate Network Solutions receives the full amount of the invoice.
    4.

    5. Client will account for any tax withheld to the tax authorities on a timely basis.
12. License fees may change from time to time and fee increases are effective after the end of each term on the (yearly) anniversary of the date Corporate Network Solutions started billing Client as provided on the SOW.
13. An Early Termination Fee (ETF) equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of the remaining contractual balance shall be assessed to Client in the event Client chooses early termination. Any Bare Metal Servers and/or Bare Metal Cloud services canceled during the term will result in the waiver of all discounted pricing. At the time of cancellation, Client hereby agrees to pay the standard price for all services through the then canceled term.

4. Term and Termination

1. The MSA is effective for the duration of the initial term listed on any Client SOF and any subsequent renewal terms.
2. The “Commencement Date” listed on the SOF is the date that the initial term begins. If services are not delivered to Client, for any reason, by the Commencement Date, the date of delivery of services becomes the new Commencement Date. The period of the initial term shall also be documented thereon.
3. If Client orders multiple services contained on one SOF, those items may be delivered on different dates. In this instance the Commencement Date is the actual date of delivery of each specific item, which can result in multiple Commencement Dates on one SOF. Such changes may or may not result in adjustments to License Fees or other charges. Cessation of services provided under varied commencement dates shall be co-terminus. Therefore, for certain fees which are pre-paid, unused fees shall be returned within forty-five (45) days after termination.
4. This MSA shall be in force for the initial term from the commencement date as provided in the Service Order Form (SOF) and any subsequent renewal term(s).
5. Either Party will have the right to terminate this MSA by (i) giving at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to the other Party to terminate the MSA at the end of the then current term.
6. Holding Over. Client has no absolute right to hold over after this MSA expires or terminates without Corporate Network Solutions’s prior written consent which shall not be commercially unreasonably withheld. If Client holds over after this MSA expires, Client becomes a month-to-month Licensee subject to all of the terms of this MSA and the Parties agree the License Fees will be increased to one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of Client’s most recent license fees for the next ninety (90) days, and thereafter increased to two hundred percent (200%) of the same on the ninety-first (91st) day and ongoing. This provision is not a waiver by Corporate Network Solutions of any right to re-entry, and acceptance of License Fees by Corporate Network Solutions (or any affirmation of tenancy) does not waive our right to terminate the MSA for a breach of any terms, covenants, or obligations of Clients. So long as Client removes its equipment, materials, and other property from the Client Area within thirty (30) business days of expiration or termination, Client shall not be deemed to be holding over under this provision.
7. At the expiration or termination of the Agreement, Client must leave the Client Area in the same condition it was in on Client installation date (normal wear and tear excepted).
8. When ordering reserved instances for Bare Metal Cloud services, Client agrees that all reservations will be billed throughout the initial term of the reservation. Deleting reserved instances mid-term does not equal canceling the service and you will continue to be billed till the end of term, while the instance will remain reserved and always available to you during that entire time for redeployment.
